Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the field of agricultural machinery, in particular to a crawler harvester. Background Art
[0002] In the existing agricultural machinery field, crawler harvesters are commonly used crop harvesting equipment, and their travel performance has a crucial impact on user operability during use. Because harvesters need to have multiple functions such as driving, power, travel, and harvesting, their structure is relatively complex. When the harvester harvests crops, the load on the harvester increases, which can easily affect the harvester's overall performance. In related technologies, the harvester's layout is not compact enough and the center of gravity distribution is not reasonable, which has a certain impact on the harvester's structural stability and travel stability.
[0003] Therefore, it is necessary to provide a crawler harvester to overcome the above-mentioned defectives. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of the utility model is to provide a crawler harvester, which improves the problems of the harvester's insufficiently compact layout and uneven distribution of the center of gravity by rationally arranging key components in the overall machine solution.

This application helps to improve the compactness of the whole machine components, while providing more space for other functional mechanisms such as harvesting, threshing and cleaning, and also improves the problem of uneven distribution of the center of gravity of the whole machine, thereby improving the stability of the whole machine.
[0006] Preferably, the plunger pump assembly and the engine assembly are positioned on the same side of the plunger pump belt in the left-right direction. Furthermore, the plunger pump assembly and the engine assembly are positioned to the right of the plunger pump belt. This solution improves the utilization of the space below the cab and enhances structural compactness.
